Setsuna is such a broken game. I can literally oneshot everything with the blowbeat Combo fron Endir and Nidr, and because i have Gagnrath spritnites for both of'em i never run out of Mana to do that.

Never tried that but it appears TLR has uncapped framerate. It was an UE3 game.

Right, I forgot abut that. That was a fantastic PC version.

So let's hear it for off-the-shelf engines again.

Do you mean I am Setsuna? The game can't even keep 60fps at a resolution of 1920x1080 on a 970.

It runs at a locked 120 FPS for me at 2560x1440. While my GPU sleeps, basically (25% usage). No idea what's going on there.

Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 had a good PC version too and came out before the PS4, I think they added new graphical effects and stuff like AO later in a patch too, SE can make good PC releases if they try and if they think it's worth it

Right, but that's an MMO, I think good PC versions are more of a given there.

I was just surprised that Setsuna ran at 120FPS no problem given the framerate issues (sometimes even with a 30 FPS lock) of some of their other recent ports.

Racing Transformed is legit fun.

Any other Sonic game is trying capture a faint scent and trying to mass produce it as perfume.

Glad you are just saying words and not anything of worth. Sorry for liking something you don't but, quit acting like no one wants something because you don't stop being a dick about it.

Was Dark Souls' brightness and gamma low for anyone else? I max out brightness but the game still look dark. Mind you I set my lappy's brightness to low cuz I can't stand bright lighting myself but in DARK souls 1 it makes seeing some things quite difficult.
What are my options to manually increase it's brightness? I have an NVidia 970M btw.

Nah, that doesn't really make a lot of sense since they're also doing what's basically a Sonic Generations 2.

IMO the worry is more that they're trying to please everyone and still have no clear idea where they're going with this franchise.

If it's any consolation, I felt the same way about RE7. It's definitely going to be a cheaper budget there than compared to say RE6.

OK, what good modern sonic games are out there?

Yes, this newest one is closer to the classic fun and fast gameplay, but you got to be kidding if you don't recognize why it's been comparedto a meme game.

Plug in the charger and change the power settings to high performance. My laptop would dim the screen to save battery until I did that.

Finished I am Setsuna.

Overall an enjoyable game, but nothing too remarkable. The story is fairly classic for a JRPG and so are the characters. The combat was a bit dull over the time.

As a throwback too old classics it really doesn't work at all tho. It's just missing those special somethings other games had. For example optional events, minigames or secrets. Setsuna doesn't really have anything like that and is very, very linear. It's missing that feeling to be able to explore the world.

With 13 hours of playtime it's also really short for a JRPG, but then again, having something of little size can be a pro if you just wanna have to play throguh the weekend.

So overall i don't really recommend it at the price of 40$ wholeheartedly. Maybe wait for it to be 50% off, or play an actual classic instead.

That's...and odd solution lol.
I always play with the battery on if I'm gaming on my laptop and right now my power plan is balanced. I don't encounter this issue in other games though.

I'd love to know what is going on with it, because every resolution fullscreen gives me a framerate that keeps going between 44 and 57 and only 1280x720 and 960x540 windowed give me a fixed 60fps.

That's quite a bit shorter than the 25-30 hours that people were claiming it to be.
